Mitch Winehouse revealed that he has not ruled out the possibility of allowing his daughter's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil joining the foundation set up in her name, providing that he improves his life.

"I've made my feelings absolutely clear about Blake over the years," Winehouse told The Sun. "He's got a lot to answer for. The thing is, whether I like it or not, Amy loved him at one point in her life.

"He has been in jail up north, but if he sorts his life out I wouldn't rule out the chance of him doing something with the education we have planned in the future. It's a long way off, but if he can turn it round, anyone can."

Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil first met in 2005, before marrying in Miami in May 2007. The pair split two years later, but remained in contact until her death from alcohol poisoning last year.

Talking about tomorrow night's events, he added: "It'll be one of those nights. There will be a lot of laughter and a lot of tears.

"We're going to Amy's house at 8pm and saying our Jewish prayers then we're going straight from there to Jazz After Dark.

"We're getting my mate Freddie down with the karaoke so if anybody wants to get up and sing, they can. We went there after Amy passed away. It would have been in the first week - it was all a blur at the time."

He continued: "But that's the kind of night Amy would have wanted. She wouldn't want us moping around the house, she would have wanted us to sing."

The Amy Winehouse Foundation was set up by her family to support charitable activities around the world that help care for young people.
